VMPal Build 40 Released: Full-Autopilot VM Creation and Management via AI Agent

On October 7, 2026, the TablePlus team announced build 40 of VMPal, its virtual machine app for Mac, through its official X account (@TablePlus). The headline feature is full autopilot: an AI agent handles the full circle of VM creation and management. The release also adds Kali Linux and smoother Windows execution at 120Hz with GPU acceleration on ProMotion displays.

According to the announcement, full autopilot lets users "do the full circle create and manage VM using AI Agent," so manual creation is unnecessary. That is the vendor's own framing; the exact agent integration and supported scope should be confirmed against VMPal.com and the full changelog.

Full Autopilot and New Kali Linux Support

The changes confirmed within the announcement are:

  • Full autopilot: the full process from VM creation through management can be performed with an AI agent, with no manual creation needed
  • Kali Linux added: newly added as a supported system
  • Bug fixes included: details pointed to a separate full changelog link

Adding Kali Linux to the supported list is a practical expansion for users running VMs for labs and testing. The announcement itself does not confirm further details such as whether Kali Linux is auto-downloaded and installed.

Smoother 120Hz ProMotion Windows Execution and Practical Context

The announcement states that Windows runs smoother at 120Hz on ProMotion displays with GPU acceleration. For Mac users running Windows VMs, this directly affects perceived performance.

However, that single announcement line is the full extent of the verified claim, so applicable conditions (specific macOS or Windows versions, display requirements) remain unconfirmed. In the same thread, one user asked about 120Hz behavior and display output, suggesting the improvement may not feel identical in every setup.

What Official Follow-up Replies Confirm, and the Limits

Replies from the official account in the announcement thread add the following context:

  • Asked how agents should work with a password-protected VM, the official account replied that the agent can read it if MCP is enabled for that VM.
  • Asked for docs or an API to spin up VMs from CI/CD, the official account said it would come in upcoming releases.

So MCP is confirmed as one axis of the agent integration, while CI/CD documentation and API access are not yet public. The expanded contents of the shortened full-changelog URL were outside this verification scope, and specifications, pricing, and support details beyond the announcement are left unconfirmed.
